The post read: "Over the past week, we've carried out regular high visibility patrols around the town in the evenings.

"This has resulted in a number of stop checks of youths where various amounts of cannabis have been seized.

"One youth was arrested in breach of a community protection notice.

"Another two youths were arrested, one for affray and the other being in possession of a bladed article.

"A further youth was taken home after being found in possession of cannabis.

"We've also put interventions in place preventing certain individuals from entering Wellington Park.

"We continue to be proactive in tackling ASB residents will see more high visibility patrols in the evening.

"We're committed to tackling ASB in Wellington."

Shocking disorder

During what a police spokesman has termed a "disorder", officers were subjected to "aggressive, hostile and violent behaviour" by a group of 30 young people who tried to prevent an arrest at the scene.

Two teenage girls, aged 13 and 15-year-old, were subsequently arrested.

Since the brawl in Wellington park, angry residents took to social media to air the problems in the community.

One post, by Bill Hunt, has called for an open forum for members of the community to discuss the problems it faces.

It reads: "I don't know about the all other people of Wellington, but I'm getting a little bit fed up with all the disgusting behaviour of the little s****, they are doing exactly what they want, and the councillors and police are doing absolutely nothing about it.

"Surely we don't have to put up with it anymore?

"I think it's about time that we had an open forum, with as many people we can get to attend, at a suitable time, in the community centre, after all it is a community issue and some action needs to be taken.

"It's time to stop this."

Mandy McCarter wrote:"I know some of the parents personally and they feel just as frustrated as there is no help being given.

"They are at their wits end.

"This is a generation of children not allowed to be disciplined and we are made to suffer.

"Some parents do not care, I agree, but some of them do and are being let down by the system, the same as the kids are."

While Carrie Sealy wrote: "Whatever anyone's opinion on it is (there will always be people on both sides of the fence), rallying against children is not the answer.

"There is not the support. So get angry at the system and the funding cuts, not the kids."
